Celebrating the most melancholic season of the year
The time between summer and winter, the time of transience, lets many different emotions affect us all, then and now. The autumn melancholy and the walks through colorful forests with the warming sunbeams of the Indian Summer. Then again continuous rain and autumn storms. Leaves are falling, the hot tea on the stove and the fire crackles in the fireplace. The farmers reap the harvest and you show your thanksgiving. All these feelings did not go past the music, and exactly this is impressively proven here!

Rustic: The nostalgia of autumn
Not only a great listening pleasure is guaranteed, this compilation takes you on a journey, lets you dream and distance yourself from everyday life, but also connoisseurs of music are not neglected here. Very rare titles and nostalgic hits alternate. Who still knows Come September by Bobby Darin from the film of the same name, or Dinah Washington's magnificent version of the standard September In The Rain! The title song Autumn Leaves is also a famous song, but in the version of The Coasters it is more of a rarity. By the way, speaking of rare titles: A number of recordings have been released here for the first time on CD! Among them Bob Davie's Corn Poem and Don Duke's cover of John Leyton's Wild Wind! There's a doo-wop number by The Tempos, famous country artists like Chet Atkins and Flatt & Scruggs, rock'n'roll rarities by Paul Ballenger & The Flares and Nino Tempo! Of course the CD includes also liner notes to each single song, as well as many illustrations in the 28-page booklet!
